Eddie Korbich has been seen on Broadway in Sweeney Todd, Carousel, The Drowsy Chaperone, and A Gentleman’s Guide to Love and Murder. Andy Leech serves on the musical-theater faculty at AMDA in New York City.

The evening will be hosted by the show’s lyricist, Tom Jones (The Fantasticks), and is directed by Robert W. Schneider. Joshua Zecher-Ross will serve as musical director. Audiences can expect to hear such classics as "My Cup Runneth Over," "When The Kids Get Married," and "Flaming Agnes," plus a few hidden treasures from the trunk of Jones and Schmidt.
Inspired by the Jan de Hartog play The Fourposter, the two-character musical spans fifty years in the marriage of Agnes and Michael Snow, from 1895 to 1945. It premiered on Broadway in 1966 and ran 520 performances.
